EXCEPT:
Don't know?
Terms in this set (136)
4 Categories of Teeth and Their Function -Incisors - cut
-Canines - hold/grasp
-Premolars - grinding
-Molars - chew/grinding
What is your 1st set of teeth called? Primary (deciduous) teeth
What is your 2nd set of teeth called? Permanent (seccedaneous)
How many teeth in a primary set? 20 teeth, 10 per arch
, How many teeth in a permanent set? 32 teeth, 16 per arch
4 tooth tissue types -Enamel
-Dentin
-Cementum
-Dental Pulp
Enamel hard, outermost layer of a tooth
Dentin Dense tissue forming the bulk of a tooth.
Secondary vs Tertiary Dentin -Secondary = forms throughout life of tooth
-Tertiary = response to caries or trauma
Cementum Bonelike substance that covers the root, attaches tooth to
alveolar bone. Tooth's main nourishment system.
Dental pulp Soft inner tissue of the tooth
Pulp Functions formative, nutritive, sensory, defensive
All teeth tissues develop from mesoderm Enamel - develops from ectoderm
EXCEPT:
Anatomic vs Clinical Crown -Anatomic = covered with enamel
-Clinical = seen above the gum
Anatomic vs Clinical Root -Anatomic = covered with cementum
-Clinical - not visible below the gum
Furcation Area between two or more root branches
Root trunk
DAQT Dentition, Arch, Quadrant, Tooth
ex - Permanent (D) maxillary (A) right (Q) central incisors (T)
Universal Numbering System identification of the teeth by numbering the permanent teeth
1-32 and lettering the primary teeth A-T
Palmar Notation Utilizes brackets for the quadrants, common in orthodontic
offices
